It's been a while since I've posted anything bu in researching information on my latest Darne (?) acquisition, I read that Ted (don't know how to spell his last name), mentioned back in 2017, that he had heard of Francisque Darne straying a bit and coming upon with variants of his fathers original design. One Ted mentioned was a small sidelock version of the classic Darne. Ted said he'd never seen one. Well, I am the proud owner of one. She's a beaut, and just thought you should know they were made, when and how many I don't know.
